The Corps of Signals of the Indian Army has embraced technology using a facility called e-gurukul. By using commercially available equipment, an interactive video and web based virtual classroom has been created for the first time in the Army. Instructors based in a central location can run classes on the backbone communication network of the Indian Army with students that are in remote far- flung areas. To add an element of "human touch", video images of the instructor will be streamed live to all students.
The students can interact with the instructor either via a chat facility or through an embedded voice application. Students can choose their own time and place to fine tune skills. An online test feature added will allow the assessment to be carried out individually.
Training institutes of the armed forces are spread across the country. Soldiers have to physically reach training institutes for training. This may not be possible due to various commitments. There is a constant need to fine-tune skills given rapid technological advances. The movement of manpower from peace- time locations to training institutes would reduce, increase manpower availability and reduce costs. The updated information would then be available round the clock to the user.
Can similar system suitably modified be replicated by Directorate General Resettlement (DGR) which will greatly assist all our retiring Jawans seeking resettlement?
